On Monday 16 October 2017 the Council adopted the EU Annual Report on Human Rights And Democracy in the World in 2016.

2016 was a challenging year for human rights and democracy, with a shrinking space for civil society and complex humanitarian and political crises emerging. In this context, the European Union showed leadership and remained strongly committed to promote and protect human rights and democracy across the world.

In response to the severity of the food
crisis and the need for prompt action, the World Bank Group set up the
Global Food Crisis Response Program (GFRP) in May 2008 to provide immediate
relief to countries hard hit by food high prices. The Bank response has
been articulated in coordination with the United Nations' High-Level Task
Force on food security.
